Scarab, which is a fertilizer-loving insect, is commonly known as Dung or Dung beetle. This insect was named by this name because it rolls a dung ball, which it uses as a food source, on the ground. The scarab had a divine bond with the sun god Ra in ancient Egypt and symbolized the sun. According to the ancient Egyptians, the scarab would roll the dung like the sun god who made the sunshine on the earth by rolling the sun.
In ancient Egyptian beliefs, the Scarab beetle was also frequently used in funeral art, as it symbolized immortality, resurrection, transformation, and protection. The life of the scarab revolved around the dung balls where the insects consumed, lay their eggs, and fed their young, and their offspring represented the cycle of rebirth. When the eggs hatched, the scarab was out of nowhere, making it a symbol of creation, resurrection, and transformation. A scarab amulet provided the user with protection and confidence in certain knowledge of reincarnation.
This insect symbolized the cycle of life and death, it was also a symbol that embodied the concepts of existence, development and growth. Therefore, it was highly respected in Egyptian civilization. Due to the features that the scarab symbolizes, many design examples such as accessories, amulets and seals have been used. The Egyptians, who thought that its appearance imitated the heavens, believed that the scarab symbol was superior. So they were widely used in jewelry until the Late Period (747-332 BC) when it was particularly popular for amulets.
Dung beetles have come a long way in their development in history and have become the subject of decorative objects today. Dung beetles serve many purposes other than serving as accessories. Throughout the ages, the scarab was used to symbolize wealth used as a currency, fashion accessory, but also to serve as a form of artistic expression.
